Sorry, what I meant to say was that the validate() method only returns an
empty string, no matter whether the validation was successful or not. It
seems that validate() is *supposed* do return the error strings (how?
simply concatenated?) but it doesn't here.

Also, I always get an _empty_ Javascript validator function, in the HTML
result. Like this:

        <script language=javascript><!--
                function formname_Validator(f) {
        
                }
        // --></script>

So it seems that the validation is completely broken - has anyone else had
this problem?
